Japan Ski Tours & Snowboard Trips

Particularly for advanced and expert riders, Japan ski tours offer the best way to get the most out of Japan powder skiing and snowboarding. Powderhounds.com offer a range of snowboard and ski tours in Japan, many of which chase the famed Japan snow and head to places that offer Japanese cultural experiences. Why should you consider one of the Japan ski tours?

There are literally hundreds of Japan ski areas with fantastic powder snow yet many of them are very small; not conducive to a week long trip but they are ideal for a one or two day assault. These areas are generally difficult to get to using public transport so a vehicle is the most efficient way to get around. The best way to experience these Japanese ski areas is with a qualified guide who knows the terrain intimately so you get to ski or snowboard the best lines in the best powder with your safety being paramount. With Japan ski tours or snowboard trips, your guide can drive you around to different areas each day and look after all the logistics. Some guided tours have one lodging base and travel from there to different ski areas, whilst other trips are full road trip safaris where you'll change accommodation during the tour.

You don't necessarily need to be an expert as there are also many intermediate Japan ski tours available. Use the filters in the left-hand-column to filter the range of Japan skiing tours by dates, how long you want to go for, whether you want to go backcountry skiing (i.e. ski touring or split boarding), and various attributes like your ability. Or you can look at our Japan ski tour schedule, which lists a summary of the tours by date and provides an indication of tour availability.
